Unfortunately only the first movement. Sounds lovely.
In German, it is called the Mondscheinsonate, so when I once referred to it in the US, I of course translated to „moonshine sonata“ and didn’t understand why everyone was laughing, and said „ that’s a way to look at it“.
Hearing this, I just realized for the first time how John Coltrane may well have taken the first three notes of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, in the same key, elegantly altering the sequence of the minor triad tones, creating the motive for one of his absolute greatest compositions and recordings, Equinox, also with a enigmatically introspective rasa, if more ominous.
